Jugger

How did I miss this? ( I seem to be saying that a lot.)

One of my favorite post-apocalyptic movies is Salute of the Jugger or as it's called in the States, The Blood of Heroes. In it a strange post-apocalyptic game is played. Now, people are playing the game in real life. Actually, they've been playing it for awhile mostly in Germany and Australia.

I love this. I want to play!

Some beautiful covers from my ERB library. Hopefully, I'll get my Tarzans up soon.

Massive David Warner Interview

I love David Warner. Startrek.com did a huge interview with him. Here's a bit:

Someone said "Would you like to meet William Shatner." I said, "I'd be delighted." I went into an office and there he was. As far as I know they wanted me for it, instead of having me audition and screen test. The part itself was not all that huge. Actually, it was bigger than it turned out in the film, because they'd cut quite a bit out of it. So I was actually just standing around on the Enterprise bridge for the most of it. So that's it, I was just offered the part. I'd just arrived and was living in Los Angeles, and I've been offered a job in Star Trek. "Thank you."

'The Thing' That Was Remade

The Thing that was remade of maybe it should be The Thing that wouldn't die. What is the fasination with this story?

It started life as a classic sci-fi story called, "Who Goes There?" It was taken and crafted into a classic film that set a standard for sci-fi films in 1951 called, The Thing from Another World. In 1982 the story once again became a film, this time horror what the name of the game. Now, a new version is coming to the big screen.

Let's look at some art and images from the different takes on the classic that is, The Thing.
